Dating back to the eighteenth century, the term ‘gothic’ began as a desig-
nation for an artistic movement when British antiquarians became dissatis-
fied with the taste for all things Italianate. By the twentieth century, the
Gothic was a worldwide phenomenon influencing global cinema and the
emergent film industries of Japan and Korea. Gothic influences are evident
throughout contemporary culture: in detective fiction, television pro-
grammes, Cosplay events, fashion catwalks, music styles, musical theatre,
ghostly tourism and video games, as well as being constantly reinvented
online. It is no longer an antiquarian pursuit but the longest lasting influ-
ence in popular culture, reworked and re-experienced by each new genera-
tion. This series offers readers the very best in new international research
and scholarship on the historical development, cultural meaning and
diversity of gothic culture. While covering Gothic origins dating back to
the eighteenth century, thePalgrave
Gothic
series also drives exciting new
discussions on dystopian, urban and Anthropocene gothic sensibilities
emerging in the twenty-first century. The Gothic shows no sign of
obsolescence.
